What's good Ns, I'm in the market for a new set of skis. (one ski quiver) I already made a thread regarding the bibby but after seeing I have pro deal on faction I'm definitely interested in the prodigy series. So my question here is bibby or prodigy (3.0 or 4.0)? Would be better for me. Quick info:
Height: 6'1
Weight: 170
Skiing type: aggressive but playful
Conditions skied: soft snow and occasional pow

I've been diggin' the Prodigy 4.0, and if you're just skiing soft snow and occasional pow they'll be a good one ski quiver

I would look into the ct 3.0 it's 108 underfoot and a lot more playful than the prodigy's but it's still stiff

I'm not really a fan of the Candide series after skiing the 2.0

Yessir. If you mount them as far toward as I did you have to stay centered, but you can charge for sure. Recommended is like -6 or something pretty far back. I have em at -2.25 right now. Had them at -1.75 when I got them. Most of the Faction team has them at -2. Super fun ski that has a playful feel, but charges.

Probably like October/November ish... thats when most skis come out.. maybe a bit earlier.
Next years might have a bit more rocker too, and if thats the case then I think they'll be even better.
